One of the best times of my life.. 7 Deadly Sins, Oklacon 09
16 years ago
It took me a few days to get set to write about Oklacon, but so much fun stuff happened while there, I just really didn't know what all to include. But, let me tell you, one of the funniest times of my life. And I can't wait for next year already. I know it's long, but so much happened, I don't want to leave the great parts out, so bare with me on the length.
Let's start of nice and easy though...
Thursday: While the con started on Thursday, this dog was stuck working, so I didn't get to go up. But, to save some time driving on Friday (a 6 hour trip if I did it in one trip instead of two). So, I went up to the Dallas/Fort Worth area and stayed with a furfriend, Fenrir, after shooting a high school football game, getting me there at like 1 am. We hung out for a short time before we hit the hay.
Friday: After a quick breakfast with Fenrir and a drive of about 4+ hours, I get to Oklacon and meet up quickly with
imperiallion and
kurisu-kitsune. After parking and registration situated, I got to hang out with them as we started to mingle together with all the furs and start to investigate the surroundings. I spent some time looking at the items and wanting to get a lot of things, but only had a little cash so figured out what I want. (Sin: Greed)
Not long afterward though, we headed back to the cabin where I really got to meet and talk with my other cabinmates
okidoki,
foxglove, and Ravennon over burgers on the grill. Oki did a pretty epic job of cooking considering our spatula broke on the FIRST flip of a burger. We also had
harvestthehusky over to chat with us. (Sin: Gluttony)
Back to the camp for the dance where we all hang out and mingle, and find out that a 19-year-old girl was drunk and swinging around a wooden sword. So Leo goes and helps with that and shortly after coming back and hanging a bit more, we go to leave. But, before we manage to get out, police and an ambulance show up to take the girl to the hospital because she passed out in the cold and got hypothermia. So, we were stuck in the parking lot for a while, sitting and watching. (Sin: Sloth)
Fastfoward a bit past the Airsofting, drinking and and partying in the cabin with a lot of people and a hooka to when I go to get in the shower. While relaxing in the shower, I hear the door open and see a glass of ice cold water appear over the shower. I dodge and only get a bit of it across my side, yelling out in rage "MOTHER...!!!" Causing the tricky coyote to slink out of the room before catching the blunt of wrath. But, he still got a taste it as I got my vengeance shortly after. (Sin: Wrath)
The coyote stepped outside in the cold to look for his blanket in his pajama bottoms. I just locked the door on him and let him chill for a bit before going to let him in, and surprised him with an airsoft shot to his gun, which freaked him out. Making me proud to get him back so quick. (Sin: Pride)
Anyways, went to bed after, bunking with Foxglove on the pull-out Bed-o-Spring-Filled-Death. And did our best to sleep.
Sat: After a rough night of sleep, get up and mingle with the cabinmates for a while before going into camp. So, while some furs went fursuting in town, I looked around at the artists and in the dealer's den for what I wanted to commission and wishing I could draw like they do. (Sin: Envy)
But I settled on some stuff and got them commissioned. Shortly after that I got to meet up with and hang out with the great
strykerwulf. And we hung out on and off together having a pretty good time. (Sin: Lust *blush*)
But, we stopped for a while to play Predator and Prey, which was a blast. I lasted to the end, but technically didn't survive, by one point, but screw technical, I lived.
Anyways, met back up with people and hung out with people some more, and just having a good time, which included finding Oki's car saran wrapped by Calamity Cougar. Fast forward some more, and we are hanging out in the cabin and decided to treat Oki's fan boy to a treat. So we have him come inside, where Leo, Silver and I place him "under arrest" and secure him to a chair where Oki comes out and gives him a lap dance. Hehe... I swear our cabin neighbors thought someone was getting arrested.
Sun: A lot of fun things happened on Sunday too, but mostly spent it hanging out with Silver and all my cabinmates. But, the greatest parts of the day happened in the evening. We got tired of being at camp, so as we came back, we see the door to our cabin open and the lights on. As we come in, we find Calamity Cougar trying to sneak out after pranking Oki by saran wrapping his fursuit truck shut and wrapping his head in papertowels. Foxglove quickly shut and locked the door and I tucked myself down against it and the couch. Leo used his airsoft gun to make him cut it all open again and everyone gave him several rounds for it except me as I was wrapped up in my jacket as I kept the door shut as Cougar tried to escape through it. But, we had a plan.
Several people showed up to the cabin and we organized a secret plan to get him back. *CLASSIFIED* But, after all that and we were back, we spent some time hanging and having a good and chasing down and arresting Jase Husky as well as other things. All good times, but less interesting in text.
Mon: After a wonderful singing wake up call of "Sesame Street" theme song by Oki, just spent the day cleaning up and saying goodbyes to everyone, which was sad as I had a great time. But, it must come to an end. So Leo was nice enough to ride back with me so I wasn't alone for most of the trip until Arlington, where he went the rest of the way with Kuri, and I headed back here for my normal life.
Anyways, if I got everything organized right or not. Greatness. Pure greatness. Good new and old friends. Pranks on me and of my hand, and on my friends. Meeting a great friend. Got some nice art. Fun games and nice weather. What more could you want?
